What is Niacin?

Before we jump into the “how-to” part of this article, let’s talk about what niacin actually is (spoiler alert: it’s not magic).

Niacin belongs to a family of eight B-vitamins that are essential for maintaining good health. Specifically, it plays an important role in converting food into energy and keeping your skin healthy.

You can get niacin from foods like meat, fish, dairy products but if you’re not getting enough from them then supplements are available too.

Dosage

Okay okay okkkayyyy … let’s get down to business – dosage! It’s always best to consult with a doctor before taking any new supplement (we’re not doctors here at AI Writer). They’ll likely recommend anywhere between 14-18 milligrams per day depending on your age,basal metabolic rate etc…

However.. most people have no problem tolerating up to 2000 milligrams in one day so yolo!

Quick Fact:

Do NOT just start popping pills without consulting first,you could end up overdosing which leads us now into..

Side Effects

We don’t want anyone cursing us after they’ve had a disastrous experience with this vitamin HAHAAHA! On that note does itching really bother ya much?? Ahhh scratching….THE…REDNESS…WON’T…GO..AWAYYY!!

Anywho, niacin can cause some unpleasant side effects such as :

  • Flushing of the skin (usually the neck and face)
  • Itching
  • Headaches
  • Diarrhea

But don’t worry! Side-effects oftentimes disappear after a few days or weeks of use.

Fun Fact:

The term “niacin flush” refers to when individuals experience a reddening, warmth, and/or tingling sensation across their bodies… as if they are embarrassed about something!

Time to take action

It’s time we address the elephant in the room: how do you actually take this thing? We’ve broken it down for you below.

  1. Take your tablets or capsules with food(we recommend PIZZA)to avoid any digestive discomfort(don’t eat too much pizza though).
  2. If possible don’t split/ crush / open up tablets – try swallow whole.
  3. Drink plenty of water throughout so that the supplement dissolves properly.Aim for 6 glasses minimum!
  4. You may divide dosage into two intakes during day esp if affecting sleep at night.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure to follow all instructions on your product’s label carefully!

FUN TIP: Let your pets(who have made it through quarantine with no fights,you love them extra now huh?) join along by hiding supplements in ham.. works like magic 💫 The tragedy is real……😭 .. anyhoo back to article..
